Hello. As per my personal advice, it is better to avoid teethers as it causes more harm than benefit. Chances of getting infection increases as you cannot keep the teether clean and sterilised all the time. You can go for natural teether like carrot or cucumber to let the baby press under his gums .
Continue using vit d drops as it is useful for teeth eruption.
